application of bio-fertilizers, especially mycorrhiza as substituent or complement of chemical fertilizers is one of the most important strategies for plant nutrition in sustainable management of agro-ecosystems. in order to evaluate the separated and integrated application of mycorrhiza biological fertilizer and phosphorus chemical fertilizers on growth indices of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.)...

abstract soil nutrient management with efficient fertilizer use has an important role on maximizing yield and environmental effects. in this study game theory is applied to identify the nutrient proportion for corn production in kooshkak in fars province, iran, in 2008-2009. cost of fertilizer combinations and production of corn are the players of the game. a goal programming was applied to obt...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost individually and enriched with chemical fertilizer on soil micronutrient content and micronutrient concentration of lettuce (lactuca sativa l.), athree year experiment was conducted with randomized complete block design in two factors and three replications at the experimental farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university in 200...

in order to evaluate efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers consumption in a sugar beet monogerm hybrid variety of zarghan, a field experiment was conducted in a loamy soil during 2007 in the research farm of sugar beet seed institute located in karaj. five levels of nitrogen fertilizers including 0 (check), 120, 160, 200 and 240 kg/ha of net nitrogen from urea fertilizer (46 percent of pure nitrog...

to evaluate the effects of phosphorous, iron and zinc fertilizers on quantity and quality of turnip, a field experiment was conducted in 2009. the experiment treatments arranged as split plot factorial based on a completley randomized design with 4 replications in the research farm of the university of tehran (karaj-iran). the main factor including three levels of phosphorous (super phosphate t...

BACKGROUND: Bio-fertilizers being essential components of organic farming play vital role in maintaining long term soil fertility and sustainability.OBJECTIVES: Study yield and growth indices of sorghum in response to consume chemical fertilizer and Nitroxin bio-fertilizer.METHODS: This research was conducted via split plot experime...

Nursery experiments were conducted to select the suitable bioinoculants with locally available organic source to improve quality seedling production of Jatropha curcas L. Two months old Clones was procured from the Mission Biofuel India Pvt. of Madurai district, Tamilnadu, India. Clones were transplanted in a mixture of UnSterilised sand, Soil, and Farm Yard Manure (FYM) in the ratio of 2:1:1 i...

Phosphate fertilizer experiments with nonbearing citrus trees were started at planting time in commercial groves on 5 flatwoods soils. The soils included 1) Brighton peat, 2) Sunniland, 3) Keri-Bradenton, 4) Immokalee, and 5) Immokalee-Pomello. Some of the phosphate treatments were applied only once, as broadcast applications at planting time. Other treatments were applied periodically to indiv...

Food production requires application of fertilizers containing phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium on agricultural fields in order to sustain crop yields. However modern agriculture is dependent on phosphorus derived from phosphate rock, which is a non-renewable resource and current global reserves may be depleted in 50–100 years. While phosphorus demand is projected to increase, the expected gl...
